Took a lot of work to get here too

LIFE IN YOUR 30S WITH NO SPOUSE, NO KIDS AND LITERALLY ZERO FRIENDS IRL

This meme uses the well-known Kermit sipping tea reaction image. Kermit the Frog is shown calmly drinking a glass of iced Lipton tea, with bold white text with a black outline overlaid at the bottom that reads 'LIFE IN YOUR 30S WITH NO SPOUSE, NO KIDS AND LITERALLY ZERO FRIENDS IRL'. Paired with the original post title 'Took a lot of work to get here too', the meme humorously frames the state of being unmarried, childless, and having no in-real-life friends in one's 30s (which is often perceived as a negative, undesirable state by societal standards) as a positive, hard-earned achievement that the subject is proud and content to have reached.

This meme is an edited version of the widely circulated 'Kermit Sipping Tea' (also known as 'But That's None Of My Business') meme template, whose base image originates from a 2014 Lipton iced tea commercial starring Kermit the Frog from The Muppets franchise. This specific iteration was shared as a post on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit with the original title 'Took a lot of work to get here too', playing on the contrast between common societal expectations of adult life milestones and the poster's celebration of a low-responsibility, independent lifestyle. The image was edited using Imgflip, as indicated by the watermark in the bottom left corner.
